Default Riquimbili?Not a bicycle but you gotta love it.


Ola's Suzuki Rat Bike

A 1982 Suzuki gsx 1100e chassis, with German Farymann 250cc single diesel motor, 5 liter plastic can as tank, dustpan primary cover, deckchair-style foam seat. It produces 6.5bhp which goes to the rear wheel via an old NSU OSL 250cc clutch and gearbox. The engine itself is extensivelyrubber mounted and rotates back and forward to a quite alarming degree. The cage on the back was for a dog and the blue tube provides heat whever the rider wishes to stick it!

I've read maybe two Stephen King books in my life.....not sure why that popped in my mind when I saw that. Is it alive?

I think that is the real gas tank.... My 42cc chainsaw bike uses a 2 quart plastic canteen. The 33 and 31cc bikes use a 1 quart plastic canteen so home built bikes use all kinds of things as a gas tank.
